5:20 am, ran for 50:19, approximately 4 miles, rolling hills with two mega-hills.

I'm pretty satisfied. And a little tired - our department put on a workshop last night. We started setting up at 5:30 and I finally got home about 10:15. Late night plus lots of running adds up to tired runner.

Eric has been down with what I suspect is the flu. He's been in bed for two days now - it is unheard of for him to call in sick. This morning Riley got up complaining of sore throat, headache and stuffy nose. He says he can't miss his college classes, because two of the instructors grade on attendance, and if he misses his high school class today, he can't compete in the last track meet tomorrow. I told him that he might not be competing anyway, but he wants to hang in there and try. Personally, I hate it when people come to class or work sick and share their germs with me. The attendance policies seem to encourage students to come in anyway. I guess they are trying to avoid general skipping of class, but it penalizes everyone when someone is truly sick. I had a flu shot this year, so I'm hoping that will keep me from getting what they have. I mean, sheesh, I just got back to normal, I don't want to get sick now!

You're doing great. As for the "bug", I'm fighting one myself right now. Its like I'm not sick enough to stay home, but yup I'm likely at the office sharing it with my coworkers. *sigh*. But heh two of them did that last week which is why I likely feel this way.
